Piyush Goyal
is a Visionary !
He has a vision of ,
Unlimited / Cheap
/ Clean / Round-
the-Clock , electric power to fuel India’s growth , which , in
turn will create millions of jobs
To know how he plans to bring this about , read :
As if to vindicate his vision ,
German-Dutch company TenneT and Danish company Energinet , are planning to
generate Solar and Wind power on an artificial
island in the North Sea and
supply the same to UK / Norway / the Netherlands / Germany / Denmark and Belgium
Times of India ( 19 March 2017 ) carries following
news report re this venture :
“ Artificial
island to power six countries
“
A vast artificial
island is to be built at Dogger Bank in the North Sea, complete with a harbour,
airstrip and homes, to help provide a vast new supply of renewable energy , under plans drawn up
by two companies with the blessing of the European Union.
The North Sea Wind Power Hub would act
as a hub for offshore wind turbines and a new place to put solar panels,
according to the German and Dutch arms of electricity firm TenneT and Danish
company Energinet.
The firms will sign a deal creating a
consortium to develop the plan further in Brussels on 23 March in the presence
of European Energy Union Commissioner, Maos Sefcovic..
Torben Glar Nielsen, Energinet's Danish
technical director, said: “Maybe it sounds a bit crazy and science
fiction-like, but an island on Dogger Bank could make the wind power of the
future a lot cheaper and more
effective.“
It is thought the island or possibly
islands could act as a hub for thousands of
new wind turbines, which would eventually generate green electricity for more
than 80 million people.
Under the proposals, the island would be
connected by electricity cables to the UK, Norway, the Netherlands, Germany,
Denmark and Belgium.
Mel Kroon, TenneT's chief executive, said:
“ This project can significantly
contribute to a completely renewable supply
of electricity in north-west Europe “.
In a statement, Energinet said European
targets to reduce carbon dioxide emissions meant that major new sources of
solar and wind energy were required.
“ Wind and solar energy complement each
other: there is more sun from spring to autumn, and more wind in the colder and
darker months of the year,“ it said.
“So a sustainable and stable energy
system for the future will need solar and wind energy , both on a large scale.
This requires optimum cooperation and synergy
because it cannot be accomplished by individual
member states on their own.“
The company said Dogger Bank was an
ideal location for an artificial island as it was “centrally located and in
relatively shallow water“ and also had optimal wind conditions.
“ Staff, components and assembly
workshops can be stationed on the island, thus optimising and simplifying
complex offshore logistics,“ it said.
“ An island in an area with a lot of
space will provide the scale necessary to reduce costs (through economies of
scale).“
Dear Piyush Goyalji :
Please
expedite your approval of the proposal submitted by the Power Grid Corporation
of India , to generate 315.7 GW of Solar
power in the deserts of Rajasthan
/ Kutchh / Lahul and Spiti / Ladakh
Make a beginning with 10 GW
That will enable you to provide power to
homes / offices and factories all over India at Rs 1.0 per Kwh !
Then challenge Elon Musk ,
to set up 100 BATTERY STORAGE SYSTEMS ( of 100 MW each
) all over India , using his POWERPACK batteries , the way he plans to do in
Australia
And, do it FREE ( in his own , long term interest , of course ! )
Tell him :
Unless you install these BATTERY STORAGE SYSTEMS in 100 Indian cities to supply uninterrupted
power to 5,000 EV Charging Stations ,
you will not be able to sell those ONE
MILLION electric cars that Masayoshi Son wants to buy from you in the next 5 years ( read following news
report of 03 Dec 2016 ) , nor replace those 6 million petrol / diesel cars that
India wants replaced by 2020 , with your Tesla Model 3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SoftBank Group chairman Masayoshi Son
said on Friday that Indian cab-hailing company Ola, in which SoftBank is an
investor, may introduce a fleet of one million electric cars in
partnership with an electric vehicle maker and the government—a move that could
transform the electric mobility sector in the country.
Son said he was bullish on the electric
vehicle segment in India and would look at investment opportunities in this
space. The vehicles will be locally manufactured to support the government’s ‘Make
in India’ campaign, he added.
“I think this will be the biggest
initiative for electric vehicles in India,” Son, who attended the Hindustan Times Leadership
Summit, said in an interview on Friday.
Son, 59, also met Prime
Minister Narendra Modi during the day and
proposed to partner with the government in the initiative.
“He was excited about
it,” said Son, who wants to reach the one million electric cars target in the next five
years.
